MP!L - MP!3 nick color incompatibility by dbgarza on 06-25-2006 at 07:14 AM
Hi, I installed Messenger plus live and it is really great but I have a little problem, my contacts that still use Messenger Plus 3 can't see the color on my nickname but I do see the color on their nicknames, is this a bug or an incompatibility problem?
thanks in advance.

the color codes between 4 and 3 are different, either ask them for their color codes or get them to upgrade

If you are using BBCode's in your name then they won't see this. However if you use the (old) IRC tags instead they will
. You can tell Plus! to use IRC tags for all its automated features by changing this setting in the preferences.

if you a using the codes with teh dot and the $ then people with Plus!3 will be able to see your colour, however, if you are using the mybb coding, then only people with Plus!Live 4.0 and above(when they are made) will beable to see it
this is a backwards compatability issue, which is simply not fixable with out releasing more updates for plus!3, which will not be happening

how I can get the IRC color codes?
RE: Messenger Plus Live question by markee on 06-25-2006 at 07:30 AM
If you can't be bothered finding out what the irc codes ar that you need then just direct your friends to http://mesenger.live.com for WLM and to http://www.msgpluslive.net for MP!L and that way they can enjoy all the new stuff too

but I have some friends who still use windows 98, don't ask, even I don't know why is that so they can't install Windows Live Messenger so Messenger Plus Live would be useless for them

WLM is only compatable with Windows XP and above

is there a way that when you select to use the irc codes the color box in the tool bar when you click on a color it gives the irc code? is just that even if you have enabled use the irc tags when you click on a color in the color box in the toolbar it keeps giving the bbs code color, even though the Ctrl-K shortcut works properly

I would rather see it giving IRC codes too, but Patchou has said he can't/won't (dunno which anymore).

oh well at least in Messenger Plus Live with Ctrl-R you get the format box and when you click on a custom color it gives the irc codes so is not much problem
Anyways, thank you very much for reply to this so fast, it shows this site has a really great support team to help the users
